Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Li Xueyue heard the protest first, and then saw the movement. There was a knock on the door, followed by Yu Zhen's brief response.

The door opened and a group of men in black walked in. Her eyebrows shot up when she saw them, they were tall and imposing, just like their commander.

"Your Highness, we have found the woman you are looking for."

Li Xueyue originally thought that only one person was sent out. But when she saw that there were several of them, she was caught off guard. She stared at the small round badges on their chests. It was different from anything she had read or seen before.

"Who are they?" she whispered.

"My personal soldier."

Li Xueyue tilted her head. Like a personal bodyguard? She couldn't imagine what kind of protection someone like Yu Zhen needed. Besides, he had more enemies than friends.

This reassured her, for it would be much harder to take his life than one might expect. That is, if they dared to raise their swords against him.

"Well done, you're fired." Yu Zhen nodded approvingly.

The men placed their hands on their hearts and bowed deeply. In a second, they closed the door and disappeared.

"Can she hear us talking?" Li Xueyue murmured.

Xu Jiaqi's eyes were covered with a black cloth, a ball of dirty linen was stuffed in her mouth, and there seemed to be something stuffed in her ears.

As expected, her hands were tied behind her back, as were her knees and ankles. She was forced to her knees, disoriented and confused.

Despite this, Xu Jiaqi still found ways to complain, she either said something or screamed something.

Li Xueyue took a step forward, then another step, until her light footsteps stopped in front of Xu Jiaqi. She pulled hard and ripped off the blindfold.

When Xu Jiaqi saw Li Xueyue, she didn't seem surprised at all, as if she had expected something like this to happen.

"You look much better," Li Xueyue commented.

Xu Jiaqi shuddered when she heard this, lowered her head, and her eyes were filled with tears. She noticed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had always felt pity for her.

Xu Jiaqi's behavior made Li Xueyue curious, but more angry.

Then, Li Xueyue slapped Xu Jiaqi on the cheek without warning. The sound of the slap echoed in the room, clear and loud. Xu Jiaqi's face turned to the side, and her chin became a little weak from the slap.

"Hmm!" Xu Jiaqi screamed, but the disgusting linen covered her voice. Her tongue felt sour and bitter, and she couldn't suppress the pain even when she clenched her teeth.

"It hurts, right?" Li Xueyue said in a low voice.

"On your first day as a slave, you pulled my hair and poked me with hairpins. My scalp hurt. And my skin? It was burned by the boiling water you used to bathe me."

Xu Jiaqi shook her head vigorously, denying everything, her eyes widened, and she begged for mercy frantically. Her acting skills were so superb that Li Xueyue almost felt heartbroken for a moment.

Xu Jiaqi was startled when Li Xueyue pinched her chin. She put a hand on her left cheek and her cheeks turned red.

Li Xueyue pondered and said, "You have done so many bad things to me, where should I start?"

Xu Jiaqi shrank back, trying to avoid the Crown Princess's terrifying touch. There was a hint of terror in the Crown Princess's eyes... Her eyes were too calm, just like the hand she was stroking her stinging cheek. The gentle touch should have soothed the pain, but it aggravated it instead.

Before Xu Jiaqi could react, another punch hit her in the same place. She screamed in pain and her body began to tremble.

Li Xueyue tilted her head. Her hands were burning, but she was completely unaware.

"You think Wuyi women are weak, why are they crying like this?" Li Xueyue asked grimly.

Xu Jiaqi trembled all over, sobbing and shrinking back, deliberately pleading with the prince. He watched all this happen, and was sure... he would react to the cruel behavior of the spoiled princess.

When their eyes met, it was like fire and water blending together. Tears blurred her eyes, but she could still see the raging fire burning in his heart.

Xu Jiaqi was sure that he hated the Crown Princess.

"I'll ask you this once," Li Xueyue explained calmly, "Who gave you the bath oil?"

Xu Jiaqi was nervous. It turned out that the Crown Princess knew. Haha, look at this white lotus...

Xu Jiaqi dared to bet that the Crown Princess was willing to let this tragedy happen. It seemed that she knew the harm of bath oil, but she did not protest at all.

"This crazy woman is willing to sacrifice her first child to avenge me just because the prince favors me a little." Xu Jiaqi couldn't believe that this little girl was so stingy.

Suddenly, the cloth was pulled out of her mouth. Xu Jiaqi immediately begged, "Crown Princess, I don't understand what you are talking about! Please, I have done nothing wrong. I have been serving you wholeheartedly. There must be a misunderstanding here!"

Xu Jiaqi lowered her head, almost touching the ground, "Crown Princess, you have to believe me, why would I want to harm you? You are the apple of the Crown Princess' eye, everyone in the palace admires you, who would be stupid enough to pursue you?"

"Lavender can relieve stress, mint can soothe the skin, jasmine and rosemary from Nanhui... Who gave you all this?"

Xu Jiaqi narrowed her eyes. Her premonition was right. This Crown Princess was simply crazy!

"Yes, it was suggested by the maids... We are all very worried about you, especially since you have not been able to get pregnant, so we believe that this treatment will make you happy!"

Li Xueyue sighed tiredly and smoothed her hair with her hand.

Xu Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Crown Princess had given up. Within a second, she was slapped in the face again. This time, the force was so strong that she almost fell to the ground.

Her eyes widened in pain. Her skin was now scarred and bright red. If she was slapped again, it would coagulate into red drops of blood.

But Xu Jiaqi doesn't have to suffer anymore.

A gloomy and cold voice echoed in the room. "That's enough."

Xu Jiaqi still stood there, with her head bowed devoutly, her body trembling, but she could feel that her heart was filled with hope and joy.

The prince has come to help again. How many times has this happened?

Of course, he had shown pity to Madam Gu Beining…or any other woman, far more times.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Xu Jiaqi sobbed, her voice full of fear and sweetness. Any man would not be able to help but bend down to help her.

She didn't even look up, but lowered her head to hide her crying face. The tears dripped onto the wooden floor, staining it dark brown. It was obvious that she was trying hard to hold back her tears.

He said coldly: "You are so terrible."

Xu Jiaqi slowly raised her chin and took a peek. The prince actually said such words to his wife, the Crown Princess. He was scolding his woman in front of others.

Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. This stupid princess... She actually exposed her disgusting true face to her husband. No man would like such an ugly person.
